Tentative Schedule for Day Camp

Campers must be going into 5th-8th Grade. Students should be interested in science, technology and willing to participate in activities. Campers need to be eager to have fun and make new friends.

Day Campers will be selected on a first-come, first-serve basis (limited to first 20) by completing the registration in this brochure and payment of a non-refundable $75 fee. Highly motivated students who meet the admissions requirements are encouraged to apply to secure a slot.

Residential Campers will stay in the Cooper Learning Center at the UW-Platteville Pioneer Farm.

The UW-Platteville Pioneer Farm supports the vitality of Wisconsin agriculture, providing on-farm experiences for students, conducting applied research, and disseminating information about agricultural practices and the environment to students, agencies, producers, and the public.
